About My Clients

I work with individuals from all walks of life. My background includes working with immigrants, refugees, and folks with multi-cultural/multi-racial identities as well as LGBTQ+ identifying individuals with a focus on issues related to mood, identity, trauma, systems of oppression, self-esteem, grief, aging, parenting, life-transitions, diaspora, and relationships.

My Background and Approach

I utilize insight oriented psychodynamic and attachment based therapy to support clients in self exploration and reflection, facilitating increased self-awareness, understanding, and a deepened sense of authenticity. While doing this often longer and deeper work, I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in relieving immediate suffering in alignment with their values.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In therapy we build an honest, non-judgmental sanctuary for you to unload, process, reflect, or simply be. As a therapist, I work alongside clients with warmth, compassion, honesty, and humor. Being in therapy with me is being in authentic relationship with me and I would be honored to accompany you as you engage in the therapeutic process.
